Speaker 1 (00:00):
Entertainment report and he's on the press show.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Actor, comedian and X to Katie Perry Russell Brand was
in a London courtroom today to face multiple rape charges,
and after a very short back and forth with judge,
he was able to walk out of the building a
freeman for now. The actor's fourteen minute court appearance was
as simple as answering some questions like his name, data,
birth and address before he was granted his bail. The

(00:23):
New York Times said that Russell thanked the judge and
strolled out of the courtroom without showing quote any visible emotion.
He's being hit with a whole bunch of assault charges
dating back to nineteen ninety nine. He has denied all
of the charges, but he did admit that he was
quote a drug addict, a sex addict, and an imbecile
when he was younger before finding a life in the
light of the Lord. There's a hearing scheduled for May

(00:46):
thirtieth now, but the trial may not start for another
year or so. Switching gears to Vanessa Bryant, who honored
her daughter Jigi on what would have been her birthday,
her nineteenth birthday yesterday, saying she misses her more than
she could ever expressed. The widow of the late Kobe
Bryant posted a very emotional tribute on Instagram with a

(01:07):
photo of GG sporting her Mamba Sports Academy uniform. She wrote,
Happy birthday, GG. Mommy loves you and misses you more
than I could ever express. I love you, Gianna. Gianna
was just thirteen years old when she passed away in
helicopter crash that also took the lives of Kobe and
seven others on January twenty six, twenty twenty. I remember
that was I remember it like it was yesterday. It

(01:27):
was right before COVID and I was just in shot
like I refuse to believe that the story was real. Also,
if you didn't know, Gigi was a star athlete a
young age, she started playing basketball and she had dreams
of playing at the college level for the Yukon Huskies.
They even made her an honorary jersey, and the Yukon
Huskies were the twenty twenty five and CAA champions, with

(01:50):
one of the players even saying that she felt Kobe
and GG watching down on them during their big win.
La La Anthony and WNBA Legend Leslie Lisa Leslie, excuse
me showing their love in the comments to Vanessa as well.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
I'm trying to put these all is one thing, but
like that is absolutely one that I remember vividly, sitting
on the couch it came on. I'm like, are you
There's no way. And then Princess Diana was another one.
I just remember that. I remember exactly where I was,
of course, September eleventh.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
I remember Michael Jackson because I was driving there playing
all Michael songs on the radio, and then when the
song broke, they gave the news and I just couldn't
believe it.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah. Yeah, there are a few things that you just
hand sick with you right, vividly.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, for sure. And now we're really switching gears because
this is what we're known for. Bobby elthof that podcaster
who is She kind of got internet fame over giving
very dry, satirical interviews with celebrities. I guess she did
that one with Drake in bed, which was really weird.
Then they had that whole falling out. But most recently
she interviewed whiz Khalifa. Apparently she's never smoked weed before

(02:52):
Ganja and decided that should be her first time with
Whiz Khalifa, one of the biggest partakers in the history
of ever, and video shows her very much starting to panic.
I think if you've ever tried the old left handed
cigarette the Devil's lettice, then you know that that is
very much a possibility. A lot of people have that story.
By the way, speaking of Wiz, if you missed this
and I had to do this story when Jason was out,

(03:14):
he Sean Paul. They announced their Good Vibes Only tour
featuring the Baby. The fifteen date Amphitheater tour kicks off
the July sixth in New York and general tickets actually
go on sale today. By the way, way Wiz said
he still makes two million a show. I just thought
that was kind of wild. Whiz Wiz a million show,

(03:34):
two million a show, right, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
And he said his raid has been the same.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
For ten years. Okay, I canna.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Shows you that, right?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
And how many songs do you have, honey that are good?
I don't know, but he no one asked, and he
told us. And it's kind of all I can think about.
